DUREX : DO NOT DISTURB

Campaign / Durex : Do Not Disturb

THE BRIEF

Durex wanted to see what effect an enforced 'digital detox' would have on holidaying couples' sex lives.

THE WORK

We cast six real life couples - all English-speaking; all of different nationalities - and whisked them away to a luxury holiday resort. Once there, we confiscated three couples' phones and tablets. We then filmed all of them for a week (using a mix of hidden cameras, drones and shooting crews) to see what effect, if any, the absence of tech devices would have on their holiday.

The resulting film, edited from 1000's of hours of footage, struck a chord with couples the world over and ended up being watched more than 24 million times on YouTube alone.

The campaign also involved a 30" edit for TV plus web/ social content.
